Adam Lambert tour plots 'Glam Nation' concerts for summer 2012
"American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert will be back in the headlines this summer as he prepares for his latest national tour.
Only nine dates have been announced for the Glam Nation Tour itinerary so far, with a tentative opening date set for June 4 at the FM Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Official headlining dates are currently booked through a June 26 show at the Borgata Event Center in Atlantic City, NJ.
 Highlights on the calendar include performances on June 10 at Stir Concert Cove in Council Bluffs, IA, and June 22 at the Nokia Theatre in New York, NY. Ticket onsale dates and prices have not yet been announced.
While the "American Idol" alum's calendar is still relatively bare, the announcement of additional tour stops is expected. Lambert's headline venture is presently bookended by a pair of radio-sponsored concert appearances at the end of May and two festival sets inked for much later in the summer.
Lambert teased the upcoming tour on his official Twitter account, where he divulged: "For those who didn't know, my opening acts are Orianthi and Allison Iraheta!"
Orianthi is an Australian musician, who gained widespread recognition in 2009 after Michael Jackson handpicked her to play lead guitar for the "This Is It" concert series. Iraheta originally competed with Lambert on the eighth season of "American Idol," when she came in fourth place and he finished second behind winner Kris Allen.
 Lambert released his first studio album "For Your Entertainment" in November 2009, debuting at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. Iraheta's debut effort "Just Like You" was released later in December and hit a peak of No. 35 on the Billboard 200. source

Adam Lambert Biography (Short bio on Adam Lambert)
Singer. Born Adam Lambert on January 29, 1982, as the eldest of two siblings. He and his family moved to San Diego, California, from Indiana when Lambert was a baby. Lambert dreamed of being an entertainer from the age of 10; around that time he was cast in his first role as Linus in the Lyceum Theater's production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown in San Diego.
Thrilled by the stage, Lambert took private voice lessons and appeared in more musicals such as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Grease and Chess at local theatres. His voice coach, Lynne Broyles, and artistic director of the Children's Theatre Network, Alex Urban, became influential mentors during this time.
 Lambert attended Mt. Carmel High School where he participated in theater, choir and jazz band. After high school, he moved to Orange County to attend college. Shortly after enrollment Lambert had a change of heart, and decided that his real desire was to perform. He left school after only five weeks.
The aspiring singer and performer moved to Los Angeles, California, where he cobbled together a living from odd jobs while trying to make it in the theatre. He also tried his hand at music, performing in a rock band and doing studio session work.
By 2004, Lambert was making a name for himself through small parts around the Los Angeles area. He played a small role in The Ten Commandments at the Kodak Theatre alongside film actor Val Kilmer. He also began regular performances in The Zodiac Show, a touring revue of live music and talent that was co-created by Carmit Bachar of the band Pussycat Dolls. During his time with Zodiac, Lambert wowed fellow performers with his vocal range. He also began writing his own music with the revue; one particular original song, "Crawl Through Fire," was written in collaboration with Madonna's guitarist Monte Pittman. Most recently, Lambert landed an understudy spot as Fiyero in the touring and Los Angeles casts of the play, Wicked.
Lambert stepped into the national spotlight in 2009, after he became a finalist on the eighth season of the reality television competition, American Idol. His performance of the 2001 Gary Jules' arrangement of the song "Mad World" earned a standing ovation from the show's harshest critic, Simon Cowell. His vocal range, along with his jet-black hair and heavy mascara, earned him comparisons to glam rockers like Freddie Mercury and Gene Simmons.
Lambert, along with contestants Danny Gokey and Kris Allen, were the only finalists in the eighth season not to have been ranked in the bottom three positions. Lambert was considered a front-runner in the competition, but was later beaten out by dark horse candidate Kris Allen.
Critics theorized that Lambert lost because of his openly gay lifestyle. Lambert denies this rumor, however, saying Allen won because of his talent. Despite the loss, fans say Lambert will enjoy a successful singing career. Lambert agrees: He plans to record another album this year that "pushes the boundaries, pushes people's buttons." .... read more Adam Lambert biography
